I happened to see this movie recently and I must say that it is one of the few gems delivered by Bollywood. The acting, direction, dialogs were all commendable, to say the least. Aamir Khan has proved that whatever he touches turns to gold. The songs in this movie are also well placed and with a meaning. They merge with the sequences, something rarely seen in Bollywood.
The movie delivers an excellent message about the cut-throat competition in India in all walks of life. It shows that even kids are not spared, and have to endure them. Success is measured by marks, rank, percentage etc. And in this world, one would dread to imagine what would happen to a child with learning disabilities. Ishaan had the good fortune of having a teacher who has suffered the same plea.
But what about thousands of those who are not so lucky? Kya woh taare kho jaate hai is zameen par?
PS: According to my knowledge, at the moment, the only Learning Disability clinic in Mumbai is at Lokmanya Tilak General Hospital, Sion, more popularly known as Sion Hospital.

wow i didn't know the last fact. but then you always know more than me.
the movie is brilliant. amir is super cute too. but at a few times he launched right into an emotional scene, a little too quickly. at those times, i felt the movie dragged slightly. but then i think i'm a harsh critic. I had tears in my eyes several times through the movies, esp when he unveils the painting of ishaan.
btw what's with different color posts? :) about the learning disability clinics in mumbai, i think there are more. there is a school in juhu called dilkhush for special kinds. i'm sure over last few years this movement has received much momentum. but it's something the ordinary person doesn't think about. unless something like this happens to someone you know.
